Difference Between Wordpress And Blogger

Blogger vs WordPress Comparison: Customization, Marketing, Pricing, Security, and More...

Google's Blogger and Automattic's WordPress.com are free blogging systems. Blogger, or blogspot.com, offers integration with other Google services and is relatively easy to monetize. WordPress.com, though less full-featured than its self-hosted counterpart, has more advanced features than Blogger does, better anti-spam measures, and numerous upgrade options. Because they are hosted services, both come with a number of limitations. Blogger also has a history of censoring (or considering censoring) its users, whereas WordPress.com has gone to great lengths to protect the publishing rights of its user base.
